what we do
welcomed here provides the following services. Feel free to reach out for more information on any of our offerings.
organization consultation
Our free consultation program uses a two prong approach to help businesses be more inclusive. First, we use generalized data from welcomed. to inform organizations of their inclusive status. Second, we conduct an inclusion assessment to identify aspects that are going well and can be improved. Even local organizations without reviews can utilize our services to become more inclusive to receive positive reviews. We hire expert informants to conduct an assessment, provide an inclusion roadmap, and connect to further resources in the community. The goal of this service is to employ experts with lived experiences while creating a more inclusive community. It’s a win-win situation for all.
inclusive excellence
professional development solutions
welcomed here consists of trained experts and educators in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). We create free industry-specific professional development trainings, workshops, and materials that employees will be able to relate to. We believe DEI is an attitude- an organizational culture- not a checklist training, therefore, we offer the agency a system for continuous communication and partnerships.
designated welcomed here communities
Our organization partners with cities to create designated welcomed here communities. When a city achieves the identified milestones of inclusion, they earn the designation. Benchmarks for success align with the organization benchmarks to allow communities to support organizations seeking to be more inclusive.
